"Charming Indeed"!  These ladies once again prove that life in general is never predictable. 'Rewitched' took on an identity all by itself.  It dominated the previous episodes without a doubt.  Life continues to evolve around this show.

I really enjoyed this show's intro, with Paige and Billie. It was wonderful to see Paige take such an active chord in the training of Billie.  I truly liked the scene where Paige catches Billie hiding vials and brass knuckles in her pockets. The show needs the interaction such as this between the characters that is what makes it seem so real and enjoyable. 

The bio line was very interesting in this episode I couldn't wait until the commercial ended and the story begin again.  It was great seeing good acting with a splash of fun in the show.  It was how it began in the first place.  The writers must really be working overtime on this newest addition to the series. Good Job!!!!

The follies of this episode that needed further clarification were:

None.  This episode truly was in a class all by itself from the speed dating at P3 to Phoebe and Dex's wedding.  From my previous reviews as I have stated the writers needed to sanction a direction for the characters to move.  This was the show they were preparing for.  All of the other follies that needed to be added to make this story work were very relative in this episode and they fell right into place.


The brilliant aspects of this story line were:

Many. I am sure it is difficult to come up with different interesting demons every week and creating Antosis and his Imp Master were no different.  These two characters kept my attention as they victimized innocents. It was a different approach to have several small demons flying about.  It was even better when the Charmed Ones and Billie vanquished them the way they did.


One of my favorite scenes was with Billie casting a spell over Phoebe and Dex.  Yes, they were married very quickly in this show, but I agree with Phoebe when she stated, "This wasn't her Cinderella wedding, but there has to be a reason why it happened"?  It was masterful how the writers worked that into the show.  Phoebe will keep her time-frames in order for her to have her little girl (which on a personal note, will be nice to see three magical children in the manor all causing the Charmed Ones havoc - but that is another story for hopefully another season).


Along with this marriage comes a very nice scene that hasn't been around since Cole left.  After Phoebe speaks with a frustrated Billie, Dex comes to the bedroom door and puts his arm around Phoebe comforting her.  We don't see enough of this type of scene.  I longed to see the interaction between Leo and Piper, along with Phoebe and her new love. Last season this was not to be, so I am happy that the loving and nurturing between the couples has returned this season.  I am in hopes that the writers will have a more permanent man in Paige's life.  (One can only wonder...)


The absolute best was when the girls finally made peace with themselves and became the CHARMED ONES AGAIN.   I laughed with a surprised delight and quickly telephoned my friend, Vivian who was also watching with anticipation at what would happen next.  We both were overjoyed for the first time in a very long time that 'Charm' was returning to the old ways. It was reinventing itself again like it had in Season Three.

This was a show for the records.  A show that will outlive all of its predecessors.  It had romance, intrigue, fun and even a demon vanquishing in the foyer.  Ohhh... the good times are definitely returning to the WB Sunday Night!

The show ended on a very thrilling note of the sisters walking into Agent Murphy's office and giving him their deal.  This adds additional substance to the show and opens up new ideas for future plots.  Perhaps we will see the Charmed Ones travel and do good deeds all over the world. (Hint, Hint)


Rest assured, the writers have a suspenseful ride ahead for the fans of Charmed.  So hang on tight and enjoy the ride, for I feel that from here on out it is going to be CHARMED INDEED!
